儿童在不同活动中的时间分配对于认知和非认知发展可能很重要。在此，我们利用澳大利亚儿童纵向研究中的时间使用日记来研究时间分配的影响。通过这样做，我们描述了孩子所接触的不同活动之间的权衡。一方面，我们的研究结果表明，花在教育活动上的时间，特别是与父母在一起的时间，是认知技能发展中最有效的投入。另一方面，非认知技能似乎对其他时间分配不敏感。相反，他们受到母亲养育方式的影响很大。
The allocation of children's time among different activities may be important for cognitive and noncognitive development. Here, we exploit time use diaries from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children to study the effects of time allocation. By doing so, we characterize the trade-off between different activities to which a child is exposed. On the one hand, our results suggest that time spent in educational activities, particularly with parents, is the most productive input for cognitive skill development. On the other hand, noncognitive skills appear insensitive to alternative time allocations. Instead, they are greatly affected by the mother's parenting style.
